I thought the Mavs did that to a certain extent by keeping our young core together; that being said, they seem to really struggle at negotiations and taking what they get. Classic Mavs, passing up great opportunities because of pipedream hopes, and yet again we seem to be doing that. All that aside, none of that has anything to do with the wasting of Lee's expiring and the remaining TPE. There is literally no arguement for them to have wasted it, none whatsoever.
Perhaps their issues are: overvaluing the person and the inability to make the deals that the best of the best make on a semi regular basis. You need a hawk in the GM chair--a person ready to make those deals that most people can't see or won't see. It's not enough to 'just' make the more than obvious deals. 20 years in--for me at least--it's starting to take its toll.
